1. Lights Not Turning On

If you’ve already checked your home breaker and everything looks alright (and the power in the town isn’t out), then call an electrician. They will come to your home, do an inspection, and then be able to tell you why the lights are not turning on. In most situations this is due to damaged wiring caused by rodents or insects.
